where did he go, my man
i wrote my secrets on the folds of his brain
where did he go,

with my memories
folded neatly and tucked away
in the sole of his shoe

where did he go, my beloved
oh, he ran away
with my heart clenched in his teeth

where did he go, this child of mine
who climbed higher than on tip-toes, i could reach
where did he go, my precious god

who's light, who's light would shine down upon me
where did he go, my eyes are dark
yet the twinkle, it still remains in my tears
